Vo Ous Now Have 85,000 Members \ The Tobacco Growers' Co-operative I Association has increased its sign up by 20,000 within the past ten months nnd will enter the new year wi^h 85,000 : members, acocrding to report ljrom R&* i ',eigh headquarters of the' association. The Tri-State Tobacco Grower, the , Official organ of the tobacco growers co-operative, will*, carry the complete ( ews of deliveries to the association up to December 20 in the January number which will be mailed to itB 85,000 mebnujrs. ' ? State Farmer* ? Progressive. North Carolina farmers are rapidly adopting modern machinery and other equipment to carry on their opera tions, according to the annual report of E. R. Raney, state extension engi neer, to B. W. Kilgore, director of the farm extension service, made public. The work of the division has been divided into three main projects: wa ter supply, sewerage disposal and lights; farm building and concrete construction, and farm machinery and motors," the report reads. Visits were made to various sec tions of the state where a number of people were interested in any of these projects. The locations were gone over and best plans suggested. Along with this, bills of materials and esti mates of cost were girjen. In many cases after everything was ready, a practical working demonstration was put on. At these demonstrations all the interested parties were ^nvited and were usually preserlt. Besides be ing able to show and ! impress them with what we were trying to put across, these demonstrations have proven a very valuable asset in get ting other work started when we could refer men to these places. "Sixty-six of these practical dem* onstrations were put on, including 24 self feeders for hogs; . 4 ' colony hog houses; 4 breeding crates for hogs; 4 poultry houses; 2 brooder houses; 4 dairy barns; 3 mule barns; 3 34x60 two-story implement sheds; 8 water towerrs; 1 lime bin; 4 hydraulic rams; 4 pumping outfits with, gas engine; 1 pumping outfit1 with electric motor. These were all placed in as centrally located places as possibly. A number j of self-feeders were placed on the I court house squares so that the in ? terested parties mi^ht see them. I "Six hundred and nina blue prints , of plans for various fanm buildings J have been sent out together with bills J of materials for each one. 'The plans have included everything* if rom resi dences down in the way of puilding on j the farm. These plans haye gone to 66 different counties over ! the state, 1 not including a good humbef that have been sent out of the state]. Twenty seven additional designs from which blue prints are made for distribution have been gotten up during the year. "Visits have been made to 29 coun ty agents; 53 men interested in home 'water supplies; 87 in farm buildings; '23 in machinery; 9 in water power; 4 in silos, and 2 in dipping vats. "Seven meetings with total attend | ance of 627 were held where various j forms of work were discussed. Each | of our practical demonstrations usual ly resolved itself into a meeting for ( practical suggestions regarding other locations or buildings. Three hundred and eleven -conferences were held in th * interest of the work; 4 district j and 2 state meetings of county agents , were attended. Assisted with 1 club j encampment where instructions were given in terracing and buildings. Bills | of materials for 13 different sizes of silos were gotten up. Eight hundred j and seventy-five letters were written; 8.S07 miles traveled by railroad and ! 1.903 by automobile in carrying on 1 work. I "A test was put on in co-operation > with County Agent Falls to get a com I parison between several different makes of soy bean harvesters, and ar rangements , made for continuing this j next year. "A survey was made of 200 farms to get an estimate of the damage done Iw rats and by weevils in stored corn. Tne average per cent of damage for each was five per cent, estimates in both cases going as high as 25 per cent. "A survey was made of all windmill j owners in the state as near as pos sible, to see just what success they were having. The impression from these reports is that the failures have been due to the wheels not being high enough or the tanks were too small and not a general condemnation of the windmills," the report read. Motor Vehicle Licenses. ? During the period July 1, 1921, to June 30, 1922, a total of $3,151,795.63 was paid into the treasury by the state department of North Carolina, from November 30, 1920, to June 30, 1922, 2,020 certificates for domestic corpor ations were filed, bringing in $94, 241.58 in fees, according to the bien nial report of Secretary of State J. Bryan Grimes, recently made public. The report also shows that for the fiscal year period July 1, 1922, to De cember 1, the state's revenue from motor vehicles amounted to $2,826, 075.26, over a half-million dollars above the entire amount for 1921. "For the registration year ending June 30, 1922, there was collected and paid into the state treasury from the automobile department,' $3,101,116.95, the entire amount being collected from automobile and gasoline taxes," reads the report. "The amount expended for operation during the year ending June 30, 1922, was $81,112.65, which includ- . ed the cost of number plates, postage, clerical work, equipment, office sup plies and upkeep of building in which the department Is located. Charters Issued by Ststs. , The secretary of state has granted the following charters and amend' , menttf: i The North Carolina Lumber ! com* pany, Lake Waccamaw, to increase Its capital stock from $125^000 to $660^' 0001 Francis B. Gault natned as prin cipal agent. ' i ! The Smitherman Cotton Mills, Troy, increasing its capital stock from $150,000 to $350,000. The Carlton-Hackney Drug Com pany, Durham, changing its name from The Durham Seed House, ' , FARM j i LIVESTOCK j SEMI-ANNUAL SWINE SURVEY Questionnaires Will Be Distributed on Agricultural Routes by Rftral Mail Carriers. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Tli? second semi-annual pig survey, cards for which are now being dis ' tributed to rural mail carriers, will ' cover the entire country, the United ; States Department of Agriculture has j announced. The survey last spring j covered only 17 states, but as an indi cation of present and probable pig pro duction the survey was a great suc cess and readily demonstrated the i feasibility of extending the scoij^ of the inquiry, says the department. Ten cards or questionnaires will be distributed by each rural mail carrier on agricultural routes. Approximately 50,000 cards will be sent out. They I have been prepared in simple form ' and can be tilled out in a few minutes. Where possible, the mail carriers will fill in the answers as made by the hog raisers. The cards will show the num ber of sows furrowed during the last six months of 1921, the number far rowed during the llrst six months of' 1022, the number of sows farrowed, or due to farroW during the last six months of 1922, and the number bred j intended to be bred to farrow dur j ing the first six months of 1923. I The importance of this survey to the farmers In enabling them to adjust J their production to the probable needs of the market is stressed by the de partment. IVople who deal in crops and live stock, such as packers and com mission i^en, have very extensive organizations for Informing themselves of the production of crops and live 3tock, the department points out. "Fanners have no such organization of their own, and obviously informa tion of this character is just as impor tant to the fnfmers as to the pfcople who deal In farm products. One of | the functions of government is to ' gather j and publish these necessary ! statistics in order that the producers : may have some knowledge of what is ' gofcit on in the way of production." i ________ ' SIMPLE WAY TO TIE HORSES 1 _________ i Method Illustrated Obviates Danger of Animals Getting Legs Over the Rope. The accompanying diagram shows a simple but effective method of tying horses and colts so there Is no danger of their getting their legs over the tie rojfe and throwing themselves or , strangling, says a writer in the Pral rlt} Faring-. This Is one of the con A -Iron ring Hitch for Horse. stunt dangers on the farm, especially where the barn Is some distance from the house. Have a snap at the halter end of the rein, then run the other end of the rope through the hole in the manger and tie on a large ring or almost anything which will act as a light weight and which cannot get in such a way that it can be pulled through the hole. When the horse stands close to the manger tne ring will go down and thus there wljl be no chance for him to get his foot over the rein. COSTS OF MILK PRODUCTION Bulletin Issued by University of Wis consin Gives Good Information for Dairyman. Not msiny dairymen are thoroughly familiar with the big questipn of the variatibn in the cost of producing milk. "Milk costs are necessary in order to determine profits or losses of the herd," say \ P. E. McNall and D. R. Mitchell in their new bulletin, "Why Costs of Milk Vary," which has just been issued by the University of Wis consin. "Costs per hundredweight of milk varied from $1.88 to $4.01 for dif ferent months of the year." Such facts as these are brought out In the new bulletin, which contains valuable information for the practical dairyman who Is trying to hold down produc tion costs. , i Excellent Hog Pasture.
